ABSTRACT

The present invention relates to bleaching composition for keratin fibres, especially human hair, comprising at least one compound with bleaching and/or highlighting effect and a calcium salt. Further object of the present invention is the use of at least one calcium salt in a bleaching and/or highlighting composition for keratin fibres, especially for human hair, comprising at least one compound with bleaching and/or highlighting effect for preventing temperature increase going above 40° C., preferably above 45° C. and more preferably above 50° C. in a period of at least 60 min after mixing water free bleaching and/or highlighting composition and oxidizing lotion.

The present invention relates to bleaching composition for keratinfibres, especially human hair, comprising at least one compound withbleaching and/or highlighting effect and a calcium salt.

Hair bleaching is a common practice for ages. It is based on oxidativedecomposition of hair colour, which is usually done using peroxide orperoxide releasing compounds such as persulfates. Due to highlyirritating potential of these bleaching ingredients and dustiness ofpowder compositions, it is preferred to provide granular compositionwhere dust is reduced by agglomerating small particles into granulatesusing various binding agents. Most popular binding agent is mineral oil,which was the subject matter of EP 560 088 B1. Furthermore, EP 778 020A1 suggests the use of oil and wax compounds or their mixtures forpreparation of suspensions.

The bleaching of human hair customarily consists of a process with thefollowing steps: Homogenous mixing of a water-free preparation,preferably a powder, comprising at least one compound with a bleachingand/or highlighting effect, in particular a solid peroxide salt,preferably ammonium, potassium and/or sodium persulfate or earth alkaliperoxide, with an aqueous hydrogen peroxide composition, application ofthis composition onto the hair, and rinsing after bleaching iscompleted. It has been known for some time that use of these compoundsis effective with regard to the bleaching, but higher concentrations canlead to hair damage and/or scalp irritation. In some cases, it hasfurther been observed that during mixing of the above mentioned twocompositions and/or processing on the hair after application of themixture, excessive heat develops which results in excessive hair damageand extreme scalp irritations and more seriously scalp burning. It wasfound out that in some cases temperature on the hair and scalp raiseseasily to approximately 80° C. Prevention of said excessive heatdevelopment will help very much to a safe and milder beaching process.

The source of the excessive heat development can be any reaction takingplace within the mixture of aqueous oxidizing and water free bleachingcompositions. Without being bound by the theory, it has been thoughtthat heavy metal ion contaminations can be responsible for extreme andsteady increase in the temperature of the mixture either during mixingor during processing on keratin fibre especially hair. Heavy metal ionsmay be introduced to the mixture by non-optimal working conditions suchas using improperly cleaned utensils and also by the use of contaminatedwater for cleaning the equipment used for mixing and applying bleachingcomposition onto hair. Another source may be deposition of heavy metalson or into hair from the environment.

In order to test the above theory, cupper chloride was added into themixture of bleaching powder and oxidizing lotion and the temperature ofthe mixture was observed for a period of 60 min. It was found out thatat the beginning temperature increase is rather slow but after a periodof 15 min a rapid increase was found. The highest temperature reachedwas approximately 75° C. (FIG. 1)

Therefore, aim of the present invention is to find out a composition forbleaching and/or highlighting hair with which such excessive heatdevelopment does not take place.

The inventors of the present invention have surprisingly found out thatexcessive heat development does not take place when a calcium salt (seebelow for the specific calcium salts referred to) is used in water freebleaching composition which is than mixed with an oxidizing composition.

In another way of carrying out the invention in two step is that in thefirst step, bleaching and/or highlighting composition of the presentinvention is firstly mixed with an oxidizing agent and applied onto hairand left 5 to 45 min and afterwards rinsed off from hair andsubsequently in the second step dyeing composition is applied onto hairand additionally processed for 5 to 45 min and rinsed off from hair andshampooed, if necessary.

The composition of the present invention can contain additionalingredients such as preservatives, chelating agents, fragrance andsubstances customarily used in cosmetic bleaching and colouringcompositions of keratin fibres, especially hair.

The invention is illustrated with the following examples, but notlimited to.

EXAMPLE 1

Water Free Bleaching and/or Highlighting Compositions

Potassium persulfate 40 by weight Sodium persulfate 5 Sodium carbonate 1Sodium silicate 10 Diatomaceous Earth 40 Calcium sulfate 4

The above composition is prepared by combining all powder componentstogether and by mixing until homogeneity in a suitable mixer.

In order to test the excessive heat development preventing effect ofcalcium salt, in the example calcium sulphate, a comparative compositionis prepared without 4% by weight calcium salt. In this case DiatomaceousEarth concentration is increased to 44% by weight. Both compositionswere spiked with copper chloride at a concentration of 0.048 g per 100 gbleaching composition after mixing with oxidizing lotion below.

The water free bleaching compositions were mixed with an oxidizingcomposition of the following composition at a weight ratio of water freepowder to oxidizing lotion 1:2.

Oxidizing Lotion

Hydrogen peroxide 9.00 (% by wt.) Cetyl stearyl alcohol 1.70 Phosphoricacid 0.50 Sodium lauryl sulfate 0.20 Coenzyme Q10 0.05 Cetyl PGhydroxyethyl palmitamide 0.10 Disodium hydrogen phosphate 0.10 Salicylicacid 0.10 Water ad 100.00

The temperature of the mixture was followed for 60 min with a digitalthermometer and recorded in regular distances. The results are presentedin FIG. 1.

FIG. 1: Temperature changes of bleaching compositions

As clearly shown in FIG. 1 temperature of the composition withoutcalcium sulphate increases to approximately 75° C. but temperature ofthe composition with calcium sulphate does not increase more thanapproximately 30° C. This results show clearly that in the presence ofcalcium chloride excessive heat development in bleaching compositions isprevented by the presence of calcium salt, in this particular example bythe presence of calcium sulphate.

Similar results were observed with the following examples

EXAMPLE 2

Bleaching/Highlighting Powder Composition

Hydroxyethylcellulose 1.00 % by weight Cellulose gum 3.00 TetrasodiumEDTA 2.00 Sodium carbonate 1.00 Ammonium persulfate 21.00 Potassiumpersulfate 46.60 Sodium metasilicate 10.00 Diatomaceous Earth 11.00Polyquaternium - 10 0.50 Calcium chloride 3.00

The above composition was tested in a half side test for its performanceon bleaching with 10 volunteers having shoulder length hair. As acomparative composition a composition without calcium chloride but with14% by weight diatomaceous earth was prepared. Bleaching composition wasprepared by mixing above water free composition with oxidizing lotion ofexample 1 at a weight ratio of 1:2 (powder to lotion). Approximately 30g of each was applied onto hair and processed for 30 min at ambienttemperature. Afterwards bleaching composition was rinsed off from hairand shampooed ones and dried with a hair drier.

It was observed that the half side bleached with a composition accordingto present invention was better in combing, softer and had more shine.Volunteers were of the opinion that it was more natural upon touchingthan the half side bleached with comparative composition.

In a further test, temperature of both compositions was observed afterspiking with copper chloride at a concentration of 0.048 g per 100 gbleaching composition. It was observed that the temperature of thecomparative composition was reached approximately 83° C. whereas thetemperature of the inventive compositions did not go beyond 32° C.

EXAMPLE 3

Bleaching and colouring in a single process was carried our using thebleaching composition of example 1, dyeing composition according to thecomposition below and an oxidizing lotion composition of example 1,however with 6% hydrogen peroxide content instead of 9%.

Cetrimonium chloride 1.0 Hydroxyethylcellulose 1.0 Cetearyl alcohol 5.0Hydrolysed silk 1.0 Fragrance q.s. Preservative q.s. Citric acid q.s. topH 5.0 Water to 100

Water free bleaching composition of example 2 is mixed with abovecomposition and with oxidizing lotion of example 1 at a weight ratio of1:1.9:0.1 (water free composition: oxidizing lotion: the thirdcomposition). The resulting composition was tested against a bleachingcomposition of Example 2. It was observed that the half side bleachedwith a composition mixed with third composition is much more caredinterms of combability, shine and softness.

EXAMPLE 5

Bleaching/Highlighting Powder Composition

Hydroxyethylcellulose 1.40 % by weight Cellulose gum 3.20 Xanthan gum0.30 Tetrasodium EDTA 2.00 Sodium carbonate 1.00 Ammonium persulfate21.00 Potassium persulfate 46.60 Sodium metasilicate 10.20 Corn starch1.10 Diatomaceous Earth 9.30 Calcium sulphate 2.80 Polyquaternium - 100.10 Silica* 1.00 Synthetic fluorphologopite** 1.00 *Aerosil 380**Synthetic fluorphologopite used is commercially available from Merckwith a particle size distribution in the range of 5 to 45 μm.

The above composition was produced in the same way as in example 1 andalso used in the same way as described under Example 1. Similar resultswere obtained in the temperature test.
